IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSWhen using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage caused when the appliance is not used according to the instructions, or for uses other than those for which it was intended.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

IMPORTANT:

• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

• Use only as described in this manual.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to the distributor where purchased for service.

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.

• Do not use without vacuum bag in place.

• Turn off all controls before unplugging.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.

• Do not attempt to service the unit while appliance is plugged in.

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.

• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is the correct size for your appliance, i.e. 16 AWG. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

• Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and grounding receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug.

• Warning - To reduce the risk of personal injury due to a loose electrical connection between the appliance’s plug and extension cord, firmly and fully attach the appliance plug to the extension cord. Periodically check the connection while operating to ensure it is fully attached. Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose connection. A loose connection may result in overheating, fire, and increases the risk of a burning.

• To reduce the risk of disconnection of the appliance cord from the extension cord during operating, secure the extension cord to the appliance plug as shown or described in the Operating Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Grounding Instructions

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a

path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is

equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all

local codes and ordinances.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit

and has a grounding attachment plug that looks

like the plug illustrated in Fig. 1. Make sure that the

appliance is connected to an outlet having the same

configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used

with this appliance.

Warning - Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service

person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For Best Performance

• Keep machine and all accessories clean and in good operating condition.

• Change vacuum bags when they are 2/3 full to maintain optimum cleaning efficiency.

• Change filters when dirt is visible on them or every six months if someone in your home suffers

from allergies. Otherwise, once a year should do for replacing the filters.

• Always use genuine bags, filters and parts, as use of other products may result in poor cleaning or

filtration performance. filtration products are designed for maximum performance.

• Store machine carefully in dry area.

• For optimum cleaning performance and safety, follow your owner’s manual.

Thermal Fuse Protection

This vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a Manual Reset Thermal Fuse Protector. The thermal

protector is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from overheating due to a cutoff in airflow (i.e.

clogged hose, operating the vacuum without a bag). Should this situation occur, the thermal fuse

protector will safely shut off the vacuum cleaner to avoid any potential damage.

To Reset the Thermal Fuse

1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner.

2. Check for problem (over-filled bag, clog in hose, clogged filters, etc.).

3. Correct problem.

4. Locate “tripped” fuse — the small red or white button located on the lower left side on the back of

the main body (roughly one inch to the right of the left wheel).

5. Using a pencil, paper clip, or other pointy object, push the reset button.

6. Plug vacuum cleaner in and begin using.

Please return to a Service Center if the problem continues or if you have any questions.
